With Kobelt serving to stay in the match trailing 5-4. Giron made his move. Giron fought off two game points and earned his first match point when Kobelt dropped a backhand into the net. Fortunately for the Bruins, Giron wouldn't have to hit another ball, as Kobelt double-faulted on the crucial match point, paving the way for Giron's teammates to storm the court in celebration.

"He kind of gave it to me with that double fault," Giron said on the Bruins' website. "It was definitely awesome and I couldn't believe it because I think that was the first double-fault he hit all match. The conditions were very tough. No one enjoys playing in very windy conditions but I think it actually suites the UCLA team very well. (OSU) is used to playing indoors and we're used to playing outdoors all year round. It can be very windy at UCLA and so I felt like the wind actually helped us. Especially for me against a big hitter who likes to take big cracks at the ball. I was just trying to play steady and not go for too much. It worked."

Added UCLA head coach Billy Martin on the Bruins website: "It seems like this is the way it is every time we play Ohio State. It was so close. Ty Tucker (Ohio State coach) always has his guys ready to play hard. They're a really physical team. They played bad doubles. The wind really threw them off. They regrouped, came out and put that behind them. They were right there to win the match. A couple shots here and there and it could be us out."
